Negha
American Square-headed Snakeflies
Negha is a genus of snakeflies in the family Inocelliidae, commonly known as American Square-headed Snakeflies. The genus contains at least three described species: N. inflata, N. longicornis, and N. meridionalis. Members of this genus are characterized by their distinctive square-shaped head capsules, a trait that distinguishes them within the order Raphidioptera. These insects are predatory as adults and larvae, feeding on other small arthropods.
Negha meridionalis
Negha meridionalis is a species of square-headed snakefly described by U. Aspöck in 1988. It belongs to the family Inocelliidae, one of two families within the order Raphidioptera. The species is known from North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented.
